1. last first ---- GOV is not helping anyone with the conservatorship ----- and with the NWS it has stolen our company. How many times do I have to say that
2. I believe capitalism is best at motivation and innovation --- but if left alone ------ just about everybody will be earning what the LEAST of us is willing to take (It is the logic and essence of PURE capitalism ------ more and more work and work and the owner pays less and less )
3. So there needs to be the core of free markets and capitalism and then progressive taxation and then GOV involvement to protect consumers and RailRoad riders and communities ---
4. Socialism sucks but pure capitalism sucks too --- as without Social Security the majority of workers could never retire and without Medicare the over 65 would not be able to afford the insanely high cost 0 prices of health care insurance. And there are tons of similar blends of private and GOV that work well. (Imagine if we get rid of Medicaid. 1) Do people really think ALL the 90 Million people who rely on it are lazy bums ? 2) What about the kids of parents who are not making it -- for whatever reason ..(kids are the larges portion in # of Medicaid recipients) and again inside the 90MM or so who have Medicaid how about the millions of elderly who had savings - needed nursing home care - spend out their savings and now it is Medicaid that pays for their care (the care of once middle class families that spent out their savings). Watch the battle to come on Medicaid as people all over the country WRONGLY think its most a program for the lazy etc. SO SO wrong --- it is a safety net for middle middle income - who fall on hard times or get old and spend down for the VAST majority of the money spent
